STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS / Other

I=Inspected, NI=Not Inspected, NP=Not Present, R=Not Functioning or in Need of Repair I NI NP R   Inspection Items x       1.0 FOUNDATIONS (If all crawlspace areas are not inspected, provide an explanation. An opinion on performance is necessary) Comments:Note: The foundation performance opinion stated below neither in any way addresses future foundation movement or settlement, nor does it certify floors to be level. Soil in the Houston Texas area is known to be unstable and unpredictable. Due to the expansive nature of the soil in this area, no warranty against future movement can be made. Should you have a present or future concerns regarding the foundation's condition, you are strongly advised to consult with your builder and/or a licensed Professional Structural Engineer for future evaluation. Note: Proper draining is critical to the future performance of the foundation. Trees and shrubs around the foundation can affect soil moisture content and thus the foundation. Experts recommend that trees and shrubs be planted away from foundations, or that root barriers be installed to prevent roots from getting under the slab. Poor drainage away from slab, or ponding against it, can also affect foundation performance. If for any reason water ponds at any location near the foundation for any extended period of time (24 hours or more) drainage corrections will have to be made. No visible excessive differential movement noted at exterior or interior of home. Slab integrity appears stable and slab appears to be performing as intended on day of inspection x       1.1 GRADING and DRAINAGE Comments:Note: Client is urged to keep soil levels a minimum of six (6) to eight (8) inches below top of slab and graded away to promote positive drainage and to prevent water from ponding around foundation. Proper soil levels will also help detect insects should they try to enter the home from the outside. High soil levels are a conducive condition for wood destroying insects. Gutters appear intact but due to the lack of recent rain, I am unable to determine if gutters leak at seams or spills water. x       1.2 ROOF COVERING (If the roof is inaccessible, report the method used to inspect) Comments:Notice : This report is an opinion of the general quality and condition of the roof. Clients are urged to contact their insurance company about the insurability of any roof. All repairs noted should be performed by a qualified and competent roofing contractor. After all repairs are made, re-check all areas of roof and roof structure for proper installation of materials and for leaks. If buyer has concerns about the integrity of roof structure, roof covering or other materials, cost of repairs or life expectancy of current roof, a qualified and competent roofing contractor should be consulted. Note: Roof materials have a limited service life and may have to be spot repaired should leaks develop prior to replacement. Roof maintenance is an ongoing process and includes keeping the roof clear of tree debris, replacing any lose, damaged or missing shingles, and sealing any gaps at flashing materials. x     x 1.3 ROOF STRUCTURE AND ATTIC (If the attic is inaccessible, report the method used to inspect) Comments: Note: Insulation covered some structural, electrical, and mechanical components in the attic. This precluded and inspection of these components. Attic was entered and visually inspected from the accessible floored area of the attic. The condition of the visible elements appears to be generally adequate. Pull Down Stairs needs steel screws installed at hinge-mounts per manufacturers recommendations Spliced rafter not properly joined and supported. Ridge board does not appear to be of sufficient size to accept rafters. x     x 1.4 WALLS (interior and Exterior) Comments: Note: The condition of the hidden wood or wood structural members and other components in the wall cavities is unknown to this inspector. No opinion as to the condition of the wood or wood structural members or other components in hidden areas is either intended or implied by this inspection and written report. Hole in siding needs to be closed off with sealant or liquid foam at right side (facing front) where compressor lines enter home. x       1.5 CEILING and FLOORS Comments:Note: The condition of the hidden wood or wood structural members and other components in the ceiling and floor cavities, under the attic space insulation materials, under wood flooring and other floor coverings including the sub-flooring, in areas not readily observable, and under the roofing materials is unknown to this inspector. No opinion as to the condition of the wood or wood structural members or the other components in these hidden areas is either intended or implied by this inspection and written report. x     x 1.6 DOORS (Interior and Exterior) Comments:Rear entry door at Master bedroom Patio does not fit opening properly (out of square). x     x 1.7 WINDOWS Comments: Note: Only a representative number of accessible windows are checked for operation during this inspection. Failed thermal paned seals in insulated glass windows are not always detectable. In some instances I may not be able to disclose this condition, particularly if the windows are dirty or it is raining during inspection. The visible moisture between panes in a failed seal situation may be apparent or not, due to variations in atmospheric conditions. Windows are reported as they are observed a the time of the inspection only. No warranty is implied. If you have present or future concerns regarding the integrity of thermal pane seals, it is strongly suggested that you consult with a Professional Fenestration Specialist for further evaluation. Window glazing is pulling away from dinning room and bedroom windows. Three windows will not stay up without a prop. Needs repair to operate properly at Dining Room , Living Room , and Master Bedroom. x       1.8 FIREPLACE/CHIMNEY Comments:Note: Due to the routing and offsets of the flue, only a short area could be reviewed from the damper area. A complete review can be accomplished by a chimney sweep. x       1.9 PORCHES, DECKS AND CARPORTS (Attached) Comments:      x   1.10 OTHER Comments:  I NI NP R   Inspection Items I=Inspected, NI=Not Inspected, NP=Not Present, R=Not Functioning or in Need of Repair

Plumbing and all associated plumbing components under ground, interior to walls, floors and ceilings, not attached to the home or not readily visible in the attic, or otherwise inaccessible or hidden from view, could not be observed by this Inspector and are excluded form this inspection. All plumbing repairs noted in the "Plumbing System" category should be performed by a qualified and licensed plumbing contractor. Note: In new home construction and homes in new subdivisions, dirt, flux and other debris may enter the water supply lines. This may require periodic cleaning of the strainers at the faucets to ensure proper operation. It is also recommended that bottled drinking water be used for drinking the first few months to allow the water supply lines an opportunity to flush all the metals and other contaminates out of the system. x       4.1 DRAINS, WASTES, VENTS Comments:Note: While some water was run down the drains, this cannot simulate the waste flows characteristic of full occupancy. There may be partial blockage of the sanitary drain lines buried in the yard, from broken pipes or tree roots. Examination of such partial blockage is beyond the scope of this inspection. If drain stoppages occur, you should bring this to your builders attention immediately x       4.2 WATER HEATER EQUIPMENT (Report as in need of repair those conditions specifically listed as recognized hazards by TREC Rules) Comments: Note: Recommend draining and flushing unit at least once a year to reduce deposits/noise and extend life. Workspace in front of Water heaters is tight. May be a problem when it comes time to replace. x     x 4.3 HYDRO-THERAPY EQUIPMENT Comments:FYI: Environmental testing of the whirlpool equipment is not included as part of this inspection. Health problems have been directly linked to bacterial growth in the distribution lines of the tub equipment. I recommend that you consult the manufacture of the equipment for additional maintenance information and cleaning instructions prior to using the tub. NO ACCESS TO THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE TUB IS PROVIDED. I NI NP R   Inspection Items I=Inspected, NI=Not Inspected, NP=Not Present, R=Not Functioning or in Need of Repair
